Now there is an idea, the TLR Vending machine. I could have GB's stocked to the hilt.

Indy, any chance one of your confrence centres on SlimeSquare NooDworkia could be converted to a screening area where the locals could see the latest film reels of action on the war front? Yes, I know that technically there is not really a war at present but if you supply the seats I'll supply the body bags. Just requires a quite word in the right "ear". Like they say, "If you build it,..."

what possible use could you have for a preternatural legendary creature akin to an elf or fairie? perhaps you wish to trap it and make use of its magical power in an imipious and un-natural attempt to defeat the devout warriors of Tawakalnistan?

Why yes, such things may be arranged very handily indeed.

But, could you be more specific about, erm, remunerations?

@Taw: You see! I may be a devious, back-stabbing, covert operating double agent but at least I am honest about it. It never escapes me how that Swiss Id gets away with bloody murder. One minute rubbing shoulders with the Mullah, next rubbing noses with the bunny. Shooore, is it any wonder, a Druid, as you yourself point out it is in his blood to make alliances with stupid little folk with cutsey costumes and big ears.

If you would rather spend your military budget on some decent intel, espionage, counter-terrorist activities rather than a fleet of clapped out ex-Soviet milk floats then just contact my offices in down town NooDworkia:

The T.D.CoOp
No. 111504,
Blind Alley,
Behind the Thrash Can,
ND.

@Taw: The modern day Druids do not concern themselves with silly tales of little folk and post of gold. We appreciate that if we are to get our gold it will be earned through dilligent investment and a little palm greasing.

@Indy: All I need is for you to use your political connections on Capital Mound to pass the planning permissions to convert the premises to our required specs plus of course provide the lands. Since you already own the lands that really puts no real strain on Indy Corp. My silent partner and financier will supply all of the necessary funds necessary to develop the complex and market it properly.

The only clause is that the seating must be friendly to all. Modern establishments are of course designed with users of all mobility and ability in mind. All we require is an extra step toward this all inclusive access. Seating at the front row is to be closer to the ground, as getting up on the high seats usually requires quite a hop...erm, jump for my relatively smaller framed partner. A little hole in the back of the seat would not go astray either. Don't ask. Also more height between rows. They are small fellars but when visiting NooDworkia they like to wear rather tall hats you see, to cover their, thier, well for cover. You understand.

Not much to ask really is it, and very littel risk on your behalf.
(oh yeh, and Ginger Beer in the vending machine with Carrot Nachos at the stalls)

@Tors: Unfortunately Mr Denneti you are missing the point and Taw is more intelligent than to be duped by you. This is business. Unlike you I have no ulterior motive and no "hidden" agenda. I invest where I think the money is to be made and I make my deisions devoid of political and religious persuasion.

The Mullah appreciates that as finances are just a little slow with him at the moment I must sustain my self and "dip my toe" in fresh waters. Indeed, over the years we have developed a relationship which goes beyond the professional and if his pruse were to tighten he would not go hungry as an extention to his Swiss Account would always be available. At a greatly reduced interest rate too I may add.

That'd be right. The self-confessed doggrel composed by Taw receives public acclaim, animated GIFs and sunglass-wearing emoticons, while the Chimaera's work is all but ignored. 'tis a travesty, a travesty I say! If there are any more obvious indications of widespread anti-Rabbitism, one only has to look back through the pages of this thread to see them! This is not the first time that my brilliance has been ignored. *Snorffles sadly and hops away, ears drooping low in sorrow*

brilliance, is it? perhaps a smidge of modesty might be in order, although perhaps hubris is the natural state of a "god" or "king"

"With great ire the Rabbit cried
the Poet Laurel was he denied
Parnassus' Muse on Tawakalna did descend,
the ruin of the Rabbit to portend.

By noble verse the foes did joust
the Rabbit's aspertions to rightly oust
and thus cast down yon foul Chimaera
nay without bloodshed, but with better metre.

In imitation of Pope and Swift
the Mullah doth his noble verses writ
but yet the Rabbit, all he did know
gleaned crudities from the Paul Hogan Show.

In wrath the Hare his paws raised to the skies
rending that ether with terrible lies
for now the people of the Reactor doth know it...

...an unfeasibly large bunny he is; but not a Poet."

"Tors" - oi'll be stickin' wit' dem dere Russkie diesel milk-floats from yer man Swiss fer the toime bein' dere, lad.

Pfft...it barely even rhymes!

Before the mighty hosts of Tawakalna
Camouflaged fedayeen astride armored Lada
A dust storm

Sounds of countless engines straining
Metal treads, gears, chains and plates crashing
A blitzkrieg

Thunderous booms and earthly eruptions
Craters replacing machines: bounty of explosions
Artillery

Deluges of deafening sounds
Darkness a blackness profound
Flashes of light another way to blindess
Creatures and machines contesting in madness

Profit.

Hubris? Of course it is the "natural" state of the Gods, for 'tis from the ancient Greeks that the term was derived. As for kings, they are expected to be arrogant and supercilious, it comes with the job. Of course, like all heads of state, their natural brilliance is not always appreciated until long after their term (if relevant) has expired. In any case, the Rabbit-King isn't arrogant, he simply believes that he is better than other people. Perfectly normal behaviour for anyone composed of flesh and blood, and especially for those who are more.

As for your continuing attacks through the medium of poetry, you should be ashamed! You have turned poetry into a weapon of war, and for that you should be castigated severely. As for your slanderous comment about the "Paul Hogan Show", may I just say... you bastard! Lies! Lies! Lies! It was before my time, and I hate that guy! Oh, you'll get yours. From the depths of despair the Rabbit-King arises in anger!

Filled with fire, wrath and raisèd paw,
The Rabbit-King spake to settle the score,
Cunningly craft did he a ballad grand,
In response to the Mullah's poetry bland.

With indignant and wrathful glare,
The Rabbit-King spake without a care,
'Those that use poetry as their ward,
Should be aware 'tis a double-edged sword.

When one fights with poem and haiku,
A battle of verbiage will often ensue,
Poorly crafted metre I spy in this thread,
Especially from Mullahs whose lyricism is dead.

I also espy from my throne oaken,
The presence of poetry that should be spoken,
Poetry with middling metre and rhyme,
Forged by a Mullah who above all lacks time.

Because of this truth it is quite clear,
At least to those for whom the Rabbit do cheer,
That the Rabbit-King's orations far surpass,
The Mullah's attempts inspired by "grass".

For 'tis easier to craft a verse,
Abusing rabbits with a curse,
When having "trips" and visions merry,
Imparted by smoking leaf and berry.

So woe betide he that for weapons uses metre,
For by so doing he becomes no "l337er",
He will merely prove a lack of morality,
As shown by his use of poetic orality.

Do not forget that the first poem was historical,
And we have now fallen into depths allegorical,
With birdmen, hares and 'hunters' listed,
But with lies and deceit these truths have been twisted.

And so dear foe, I must now warn thee,
Persist ye with your lies and poetry,
You may find yourself embroiled in battle,
Armed only with predictable prattle.

For the Great Chimaera is not only a king,
But also a poet aspiring,
For these reasons must ye take heed and note,
The battle is lost without good poems to quote.'

Nicely done!

Thanks Musty! I'm actually awaiting your next submission, because you are quite adept get the Mullah's back up, and he deserves it .
